IChat getting started

I'm just a baby and trying to learn how to crawl.
When I try to log into ichat I get "iChat was unable to login to the AOL Instant Messanger service because your screen name or password was incorrect". I'm using my .mac id and password as login, these work wonderfully for access to .mac! My iChat preferences - Accounts is set to type: .mac, with .mac name and password as used to access this forum. iChat preferences - Server Settings are set to the default settings server: login.oscar.aol.com and port: 5190.
iMac G5 2.1 ppc Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi,
Some more on Page 5

However lists that don't cater for minority groups are becoming less or taken over by the bigger .coms
You can Google for others but beware of what they are offering.

Ichat - getting started for first time NOT Working ..please help

I opened the Ichat application for th every first time today. When I open the app a box pops up and asks you to enter your user name and password and with which type of account you want to log in with, etc. First, I chose my mobile me account ( I also have a mac.com account and teh same thing I am going to describe happens with it as well for it is not an apple id dependent problem). I do so and click continue. The next screen comes up in the box and it is titled " encrypted ". Then in the box it says you are now ready to use ichat" . At the bottom of the box it says click done to begin using ichat.
Thus, is my problem. There is no "done" option to click on. The only button options to click on are: "learn more" , "go back" or "continue" . If I click "continue" nothing happens and I cannot do anything or begin using ichat. If I like "learn more" nothing happes at all - thus, the same result as clicking "continue". If I click back it will goto the previous screens but nothing changes.
Has anyone experienced this before? It seems strange and odd for an apple software to be so deleterious. How do i fix it so I can use iChat?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Jenna

Hi
Welcome to the  Discussions
Unfortunately although very rare some people do find that iChat does this.
Do this first.
Open your Home Folder (Little House icon)
Go to the Preferences Folder within and then find all the com.apple.iChat(xxx).plist items and delete them.
Try iChat again.
You should see several Start Up Screens.
1) A Welcome Screen.
2) A Valid AIM name (Includes options for MobileMe and @mac.com as well as AIM) plus confirming your Name (Your name maybe Prefilled from the Address Book)
3) the Bonjour Enable (or not) screen.
4) The Jabber option (Includes GoogleTalk) This Screen includes options to change Server Names and Ports under the text fields for the Jabber ID.
5) A Video Preview pane. (You can use this to take a Snapshot for your Buddy Pic)
6) a Details of Accounts you have set up screen.
7) the Done Screen.
More on this with Pictures here
If this does not work we may have to get you to Reinstall iChat.
How much work this entails depends how far your OS has been updated above the Install Disk Level.
Could you tell me what OS version the Install Disk is (What came on your Computer when new) ?
And what OS level you are currently using ?

Getting started with iChat & iSight

I just bought an iSight camera. My hope was as I travel with my Powerbook, i could set up in my hotel and "kiss my family goodnight". I have a .mac account and another mac at home, but I can't find any information on how to set up my home mac on my buddy list to chat with them. Do I have to have two .mac accounts? I'm getting confused on how to use the software and hardware as advertised. Nothing fancy, just want my family to be able to see me at home when I am on the road. Can anyone help me understand and get started?

Take a peek at this posting: http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html

Prevent iChat from starting at login

How do I prevent iChat from starting at login? I looked in my account login items and it is not listed there. I shut the app completely before shutting down the computer so it shouldn't be automatically be relauncing due to the "reopen windows" setting in Lion. Just can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
With iChat Open check the Window Menu about which windows are actually open
The App should be Quit at the end rather than hitting the red blobs on the windows (this only closes/Hides the windows and does not Quit the app)
Are you getting Off Line IMs when it starts up ?
If this is the case it is a "feature" rather than a fault although you don't have a lot of control over it.
In earlier versions the support app iChatAgent "Listens" to the AIM Server in particular and will answer if an Off Line IM is sent.
If iChat is closed down iChatAgent will launch it.
In iChat 6 this is done by IMAgent (it does the same job for FaceTime if it's preferences are set to ON but the app is not launched)
Most likely it is a window that belongs to iChat that is not getting closed.
At the same time it may not be in view (the Window Menu should give clues).
It could be Off Line IMs

Hi guys! I am a new Mac owner and am new to iChat.. How do I get started and what are the differences between this and skype, and what are the benefits over skype?
Thanks a million!

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
This Link has a second menu under the iChat icon
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/versions/ichatvers4/howtos4.html
See Also iChat 101
Work through the menu Left to right.
Differences.
You can use an AIM valid name from AIM or Apple and a Jabber ID (Many Public Jabber servers or a GoogleMail ID enabled for Talk).
This will give you access to Buddies on two of the major IM services.
The Video Quality is generally better in iChat.
On an Intel Mac iChat 5 uses 30 Frames a sec even down to the first MacBook Pros that are 3 and 1/2 years old.
The Pic size can vary depending how fast the processor is but the general size is 640 X 480 pixels (0.3 megapixels)
The Internal iSights of later Macs can produce a higher resolution but iChat sticks (where it can) to this size
It is backwards compatible with iChat 2 through 4 and AIM (On an PC) from AIM 5.5 through to the current AIM 7.2.x.x (Although success and quality can vary depending on how the Buddy is also set up).
iChat always uses a set of dedicated ports to Video or Audio Chat and does not resort to using common Mail App ports or the web browsing port to get around any firewall.
Video and Audio Only Chat are Peer-to-Peer connections.
These last two make iChat more secure.
iChat to iChat you can Video up to 3 other people at once or 9 others in a Audio Only chat.
You get iChat Screen Sharing (with an Audio chat from iChat 4 onwards
You get iChat Theatre for displaying Pics or other File's documents as the "video"
Other than that they apps that can text or do Video or Audio Chats

How to post a XCelsius in the BPC Web Application Getting Started page

Hi Experts,
I'm new using BPC 7.5 on NetWeaver. When opening the Getting Started tab in the BPC Web Application there is a white page that I would want to fill with content. This content should be a XCelsius Dashboard linked to the Query or InfoCube on which I`m planning. Creating the XCelsius Dashboard is not the problem, but to insert it in the Getting Started panel of the BPC Web application. Has anyone an idea how to do it or how to proceed. Ideas or a little how-to would be perfect.
Thanks very much in advanced,
Àlex

Hi.
Try this...
const string LIST_PAR_NAME = "lu";
string listName = string.Empty;
if (this.Request.Params.AllKeys.Contains(LIST_PAR_NAME))
listName = this.Request.Params[LIST_PAR_NAME];
else
throw new ArgumentException("Par lu is not present.");
SPList listExport = web.Lists[listName];
However take a look at this
http://zsvipullo.blogspot.it/2013/10/get-splist-from-internal-name.html?q=getlist
to check how GetList method is faster than web.Lists[].

With Open ESB CD in hand, how do I get started?

I spent time at the Open ESB booth at JavaOne 2007 talking with the Sun representatives and engineers about Open ESB.
I'm glad I did, but I'm having a heck of a time getting started.
I have all of the requirements set-up running on Solaris 10 development server.
I've used the Service Oriented Architectures using BPEL from Java BluePrints, which really helped, but I feel I don't know enough yet to apply it towards real world projects yet.
What other resources are recommened to learn more about SOA, BPEL on the JBI Framework?
Thanks,
--Todd

Pinstriped_Dude: That's a very good point which I totally overlooked, thanks.
I've been tasked to learn (not really tasked - I'm always happy to learn) about ESB, SOA and JBI - so far I'm taking baby steps and making progress.
Thanks again,
--Todd

Regarding Facetime on my Ipad. I get started on a call and after 10 or 15 minutes I cannot hear whom I am talking to. They can still hear me and I still have picture on the screen but my sound stops working.

Pages 2.0 will not get past the "getting started" screen

i just updated pages to 2.0 on ipad 2 retina (ios 7.0.2) and now i cannot open pages, it will not get past the "getting started" screen
has anyone else experienced something similar?

Had the same problem. This sovled it for me:
Just let it load.
In Keynote, I didn't have so many documents, so the freeze didn't take too long- that's how I noticed it's just a freeze while loading.
For pages it took much longer. You can also turn off iCloud in settings for Pages, Keynote, etc. open it, re-enable iCloud in settings app again and quick switch back to pages (double-click home button). It will freeze up again, but after a while after all documents have been pulled from iCloud, it will be back to normal.

When trying to work with Agilent 34401A multimeter (serial RS-232 connection), HP34401A Getting Started.vi gives always the message: "Error 1073807369 occurred at Old VISA Open ".

Baud rate and parity are set correctly, RS-232 cable is also connected correctly. My QuickBasic program has no problems to read and write to the Multimeter. It is obviously a software problem: the same error is persistent if I disconnect RS-232 cable.
I downloaded NI-VISA 2.6 for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP frorm digital.ni.com and installed it. But it did not help.
Thank you in advance
Best regards

Hi Steve
I have problems with the 34401A and serial communication. Do you remember
where the error was in the code ?
Thanks

Cannot connect to GET STARTED page

Hello,
First off, I am sorry, I did a search and saw numerous posts on this issue, but about all of them either ended their replies after a user asked "Did you do this or that ?" or they just stopped posting... at most I saw some topics where it magically worked later on, but no real step-by-step instructions.
So, the problem: I installed XE 11g, no apparent problems during install (no warnings so I assume everything is OK), tried the GET STARTED link, but it said it can't connect.

AUD: OS Error = 1717 encountered while writing audit recordFrom what I could gather from other posts here (and on other sites) the problem is I don't have anything listening on 8080. Other than that, all seems OK (I think).
So, can anyone tell me\help me on why that one isn't starting ? I reinstalled this 6 times and still can't figure out the problem... (as you saw, I even replaced the tns hostname with 127.0.0.1 out of paranoia). It's seriously driving me mad. Every topic I searched for (from the problem itself to even a step-by-step for dummies) shows an install, then the interface working... I see some questions regarding "I can't connect to..." but most are unanswered :(
Thanks in advance!
P.S. let me know if I forgot to mention anything relevant

jgarry: I believe what you explained may be related to the fact some reported the DB doesn't work properly when the event log is full (I just emptied mine so it doesn't apply). Normally I disable it but without it started, the DB is not working properly (not that I can get it started anyway).
There was a post on a site I found hinting at 3 things:
1. ORACLE_HOME must be defined as an env-var
2. ORACLE_SID must be defined as an env-var
3. there might be a problem with spfile
Regarding those:
1. shouldn't the setup declare it automatically ? I don't have it declared, but I added it (no change)As Orafad pointed out, Windows is different. It does have a search hierarchy it follows to figure out what the environment should be. So first, unset what you set and go into a cmd window and:
sqlplus sys as sysdba
Edit: Oops, I meant
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup
2. same as above, except I am not sure what SID to add so I didn't declare it ... The only 2 I have are PLSExtProc and CLRExtProc in tnsnames by default. I tried with each but the only thing that changes is instead of getting the shared memory realm error I get a TNS adapter error... trading one error for another is not funFor XE, the ORACLE_SID is XE (unless you do screwy things to change it). So now that I see you had some other db installed before, I suspect an environment collision. Delve into your registry and see what oracle definitions you have - this is a lot of work, things are spread around some, but searching for oracle is usually a good start. I'm not up on the 11.2 details (or others, really, I just have vague memories of seeing MOS notes that purported to explain clean up entirely, without truly doing so, and I avoid Windows as much as possible). I would uninstall XE, uninstall the other one, then search the registry for any leftover stuff, then install XE and see if it all magically works. But that is a fairly brain-dead way to deal with it.
So that said, you can set up a little batch file to set your environment in a cmd window (specifically ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID), and go into sqlplus / as sysdba and give the startup command. If you get the memory realm error, you have one of those wrong, if you get the tnsnames errors you can fix those following the advice in Ed Steven's blog. You can run tnsping to see which tnsnames.ora you are using, if you use one (which is determined by an @ sign in your connection string, which you should not need to connect locally, but if you do, you need to have XE defined in the tnsnames.ora, and may need to set TNS_ADMIN to get the right one).
Your tnsnames.ora should have an entry like this:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Yourcomputer.yourdomian.whatever)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)You might want to search for any tnsname.ora on your computer, the default correct one would be: C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
3. I don't have that file in the folder but I suspect it might be created on a first successful launch of the DBWithout an spfile you need to use a pfile, then create a pfile from spfile. But there should be one at C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEXE.ORA (if you used default installation).
>
Other than that I didn't find anything helpful in logs (or don't know where else to look), nor on sites.
I did have WAMP installed at a point (uninstalled it) but if it were to conflict I guess SETUP would tell me (since the XE license doesn't let you use 2 DBs at the same time)Is that some mysql thing? That shouldn't interfere. It's only installing multiple Oracle products related some what to the Oracle database that can be a problem, and normally isn't with the more recent stuff.
I swear to god this is killing my neurons :(When you find the solution, you will slap your forehead.

Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup. However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails. And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external. Sort of a catch 22. Any ideas?

Is it a USB hard drive? USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice. Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem. If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time. I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

So Hard to get started

Hello all,
I want to state somethings that I have found so confusing in getting started with Oracle Business Intelligence.
Whenever someone attempts to get in the Oracle BI world, there seems to be a myriad of products, tools and suites that one may not really know where to start.
Up till now, I have not been able to pick or find a resource on what is which. Sorry to compare products, I have been taken a look at Microsoft Database and its associated BI solutions, and indeed it was relatively much easier to say this does this. But for as long as a I have been in Oracle Database usage and putting my hand on work using its tools, I find it hard differentiating
Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition from
Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition One and also from
Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus from
Oracle Essbase
or differentiating
Hyperion Enterprise from
Oracle BI Applications
and why I should not install tools like Oracle BI Publisher or Oracle Data Miner or Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) when I have any of the above installed.
Thank God for Oracle 11g. The confusion is a lot reduced, because with 11g, almost everything seem to be in the right place.
So, my request is that someone should please show me a reference that tell what is different from what with respect to the above mentioned BI products.
Regards,
Michael

It's all on the Oracle web site, I think you need to do a bit of homework research before asking a question like this...
OBISE = Old Oracle Discoverer.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/standard-edition.html
OBISE One = Cut-down OBIEE version plus OWB.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/standard-edition-one.html
OBIEE = OBIEE+ plus Hyperion Essbase See:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/enterprise-edition.html
Oracle Essbase = Proper OLAP cubes
http://www.oracle.com/appserver/business-intelligence/essbase.html
Oracle BI Applications = It's a bit pre-packaged BI Application (based on OBIEE) that's used to do BI on Oracle Apps
http://www.oracle.com/appserver/business-intelligence/bi-applications.html
Oracle BI Publisher = Pixel Perfect reports
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/index.html
Oracle Data Miner = Data mining, if you don't know what that is then you probably don't need it.
OWB = ETL
All in all I would say you are getting confused and you are mixing too many products in the same bag. Sure you could say it's "confusing" to have so many products. But if you were to go to the supermarket without knowing what to buy, wouldn't that be confusing as well? Rather than looking at "what's available" you should look at what sort of product you need and based on that search which products meet your needs. Or would you go to the supermarket and ask to see and understand what every product does before buying what you need?
